Polymers in Solution : Their Modelling and Structure

1991

Oxford University Press, Incorporated

'a significant addition to the polymer literature ... this is an important contribution to the literature on polymer solutions, and those doing research in this area will find it well worth getting too know as a reference book ... the monograph of des Cloizeaux and Jannink has much to offer'Contemporary Physics

Science

The result of a collaboration between a theoretician and an experimentalist, this book is devoted to the static properties of flexible polymers in solution. It presents the vast progress made by both theory and experiment in recent years. Despite the variety in the chemical composition and physical properties of long polymer chains, when in solution they show a universality in their behaviour. On the experimental side, the use of photon and neutron scattering has led to a better understanding, while the use of computer simulation has also produced interesting results.This work is the result of a collaboration between a theoretician and an experimentalist, who have both worked for many years on polymer solutions., This book is devoted to the static properties of flexible polymers in solution, presenting the vast theoretical and experimental progress made in recent years. Work in this area has been especially fruitful because long polymer chains show a universality in their behavior when in solution, despite the variety in their chemical composition and physical properties. The authors include the results of new experimental techniques such as photon and neutron scattering, and the use of computer simulations.
